Abstract excerpt
Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis can be triggered by carbon catabolite limitation. Conversely, carbon source excess can repress the production of extracellular enzymes, motility, and sporulation. Recent studies have implicated a pH-sensing mechanism, involving AbrB, the TCA cycle, Spo0K, and sigmaH in controlling the catabolite repression of sporulation gene expression. In an accompanying paper, we demonstrate...
